[Twisted-Python] what is the best way to serve static files?
What is the best (fastest) way to serve static files with Twisted? Or would using Apache or lighttpd for static files significantly speed it up (i don't know how to do this, btw)? Thx.

Both apache and lighttpd, of course, are going to beet Twisted in terms of static file-serving speed.

If you want to serve your static files with apache, you'll want to look into the ReverseProxy directive. Then you can just define Alias directives that override your various asset URLs.
I like having my Twisted web app setup so it can serve static files, using the same URLs I have aliased in Apache. Then I can omit Apache for development, but use it for production without changing any paths.
